Today's a pretty big day for me. I have to read 1/2 a book and write a 750-word precis on it...all in one day. Possible? I think so--however, this means that I won't be doing any exercise tonight. Instead, I'll be a little more stringent with my food intake and most of all...intensely focused on school!

I do like it when my mind is busy because I don't dwell on negative aspects of myself. I've had trouble with this ever since I turned 13. "Do my thighs look fat? Is my belly protruding? Am I eating too much?" ...and on and on it goes. This is terribly destructive thinking for a young teenager and now, at 19 (nearly 20) I'm trying to turn that around. In the next few months, I'll be doing reading on positive thinking techniques and focusing on my good attributes rather than my "bad" attributes. Perhaps I'll join a yoga class? We'll see...

I felt really awake and energized after the first smoothie! I wasn't really sure what to expect, but it tasted surprisingly good. Let's hope that they all taste this good. I think tomorrow I'll try putting spirulina in my smoothie...could be interesting!

Workout: OFF

I'm quickly realizing the difficulty of waking up early and making smoothies when you're trying not to wake the whole house up in the morning. This morning I was going to make a green smoothie as it worked so well the previous day BUT my roomate, who's usually away at work by morning, was sleeping. I did not wish to wake him with my blender as it is very, very LOUD. So I opted for raisin bran bread with pb. That breakfast just didn't give me the kick I needed for class. I think from now on, I'll prepare my smoothies at night so I can drink them first thing in the morning without disturbing anyone. *sigh* Live and learn, live and learn...

I'm so glad the green smoothie worked for you!! I just posted a comment on your myspace page. Good luck with your workouts and studying this week! Talk to you later!

Thank you! I certainly need all the luck I can get! My results will all come back to me next week...so I'll get to see if I did as well on my quiz/midterm/paper as I think I did. Maybe the green smoothies will give me the energy to get through massive amounts of studying, reading and writing for next week!

Tonight's the night of the Cradle of Filth, Satyricon and Septic Flesh. In other words... tonight is a night of PURE METAL. Much headbanging, screaming and prepping hair (not my own, may I add) shall be done. Male metal fans almost take more prep time than the females... jeez. In any case, that's what I'll be doing. No workouts here, unless you count fending off 300 lbs guys whilst trying to get to front of the crowd .
